chickens

Did you know we have chickens? We currently have 11 chickens. They will be laying eggs in just a few months. It is has been a [mostly] fun process to watch them grow up and see their personalities emerge. We have held off on assigning any names because we may end up having to see them on our dinner plate eventually and that would just be weird. However there is one bird that has earned a name...we call her Big Mama. She is a real peach to deal with.

Big Mama and her Leghorn self.

I'll share more in the future about our chickens and some of the things we have learned since having them.
